Maui Race Series
Yesterday was the final day of racing in the 2004 Maui Race Series. The final race of the season was the Hawaiian State Championships sponsored by Starboard. Once again, Phil McGain won the pro and open fleets. Here you see Jimmy Diaz crossing the finish line in second behind Phil in one of the heats. Check out the sail twisting off.
Winds were blowing in the 5.0 range for most of us non-racers - racers of course were on much bigger gear. A couple of spectacular mast-breaking episodes added to the excitement of the day. Here you can see a nasty looking splat as a mast breaks. Click on the image to go to a larger version.

In the pro division, Alex Aguerra took second and Jimmy Diaz third. In the women's division, Karly Aguerra won first, Argentina Jimenez-Hassier second, and Doris MacFarlane third.
